With a dedicated workforce of over 3,000 associates, Cheney Brothers fosters a high-impact, supportive culture where talented individuals thrive and are empowered to excel in their roles. The company prioritizes employee development through access to world-class leadership, extensive learning programs, and a comprehensive benefits package designed to promote both personal and professional growth. Cheney Brothers is committed to inclusivity and equal opportunity, ensuring a work environment founded on respect, recognition, and rewards for employee contributions.
This position is for a CDL-A Delivery Driver, a crucial role responsible for operating tractor trailers or straight trucks across intrastate and interstate routes, including over-the-road, shuttle, overnight, and drive-and-drop deliveries. Delivery drivers at Cheney Brothers are not only tasked with ensuring timely and safe delivery of food and food-related products but also serve as the face of the company, establishing and maintaining strong customer relationships. The role demands adherence to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, conducting pre-trip and post-trip safety inspections, and managing freight securely and efficiently. Drivers will be required to work Monday through Friday with rotating Saturdays, starting their dispatch early at 3:00 a.m., reflecting the essential nature of their role in maintaining seamless food distribution.
Compensation for this role includes a competitive daily minimum pay of $270, with an annual salary ranging between $85,000 to $100,000, accompanied by the potential to earn performance-based bonuses. Cheney Brothers offers a robust benefits package from day one, including health and wellness benefits, participation in an employee stock purchase plan, 401K employer matching, education assistance, paid time off, and many other perks aimed at fostering employee wellbeing and career advancement. The company actively supports a safe and inclusive work environment, embedding a culture that values safety, respect, and employee recognition.
As a CDL-A Delivery Driver, responsibilities extend beyond driving and delivery to encompass professional communication with customers, vendors, and co-workers, accurate management of delivery paperwork, and ensuring all safety standards are met meticulously. Drivers will also be expected to perform damage control checks on freight, collect payments where necessary, and maintain cleanliness and organization of their vehicles and loading areas. The role requires physical capabilities, including the ability to handle heavy lifting and operate equipment such as two-wheelers and lift gates necessary for product handling.
Joining Cheney Brothers means becoming part of an innovative family of industry leaders committed to continuous investment in their people and the future. This position is ideal for individuals with at least 12 months of commercial driving experience, a valid CDL-A license, and a clean driving record, ready to take on a vital role in a company that values talent, inclusion, and operational excellence.
